It said that the casualties occurred when a bus carrying school students fell off the road into a mountain ravine in a rural area of \u200b\u200bnorthern Colombia.
\nLocal media outlet El Colombiano reported that the accident occurred at 5:40 am yesterday in the El Chispero area, on the road connecting Remedios and Zaragoza. Initial investigations showed that the bus carrying 45 passengers fell into a ravine about 80 meters deep. The bus driver was among the dead.
\nAntioquia Governor Andr\u00e9s Juli\u00e1n confirmed the incident in a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He said that the bus was traveling from the Caribbean city of Tolu to Medellin. The students from Antioquia High School went on an educational trip to the beach.
\nHe added, \u201cThe students went on an educational trip to the beach as part of the celebration after the end of the annual exams. This is very heartbreaking news for the entire community at this time of December.\u201d It is worth noting that although an investigation has been launched, the exact cause of the accident is still unknown. According to the country\u2019s road authority, an average of 22 people died in road accidents every day in Colombia last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
